Rome: Total War patch

Another patch for Rome: Total War is on the way. Get the news on the upcoming fixes here.

In spite of the long list of bugs of fixes on the readme, I can't say that I have encountered many of these. Fixing the frequency of ambushes is nice, since this means a little more variety in the types of battles. The alternate weapon issue has been a problem for a while, too.

So another patch is good news, but not necessarily major news. I guess it could be interpreted as another sign that they want to get everything right. In today's internet driven game world, it's ironic that gamers complain when a game has to be patched and also complain when there is no patch to address what they think are critical errors.
